See the 2GB file limit under Linux comes from the maximum value of a 32bit signed integer. Because the file system calls use those 32bit integers a file's size is limited to 2GB, at least if you want random access. tar files generally aren't accessed in a random access fashion, instead the file is treated as a byte stream. Though I can't remember exactly, I think I created (> 2GB) tar files under Linux once too. I know SCO and other commercial OSes have addition file functions for large files which use 64bit integers to overcome this limitation. As Linux lacks this feature I am considering giving freeBSD (or any of the other BSDs) a try. Of course this leaves me wondering whether to try the pre-4.0 or the 3.2 version. ----- Original Message ----- From: Joe Gleason To: NT Workstation User ; ; ; ; ; Sent: Tuesday, July 27, 1999 4:05 PM Subject: Re: Does freeBSD or any related freeBSDs support file larger than 2GB on 32bit x86 platforms > I am uncertain about the emulation issues, but I know my backup tar files > often exceed 4GB on x86 systems. > I have done this with versions FreeBSD 2.2.2-3.2.

As to the sorry 2G filesize limit in Linux, FreeBSD has had no such limitation since at least 2.0.0. The largest file I've ever created in FreeBSD was about 12G and had no problems seeking within. Another commented that he has created 4G tar files in FreeBSD. A tar file is exactly the same as any other file on the filesystem. Only difference is what you write in it. You can create a 4G tar file in FreeBSD but not in Linux. Altho in Linux you could use tar to write 4G to a tape (if the tape is big enough). *Thats* different. In prior employment I routinely used FreeBSD to copy a image of a tape to a file. Then turned around and shot that image back out to a blank tape. Often writing to 4 tape drives at once. With all that said, last time I checked there were numerous different patches available for Linux to "solve" the 2G filesize limit. One problem was they all required wiping your existing filesystems and starting over as the mod results in a non-standard non-compatible ext2fs. Other problems to consider are, 1) did the patch "get everything"? and 2) if everybody running Linux isn't using it, then its not that well tested. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.

It's because the 3.2-stable kernel doesn't currently support forks with shared address space. It appears that this has been fixed for -current, but I don't know when, if ever, 3.2 will be fixed, since it's been broken since at least March 2. It looks like Julian Elischer was the last person to commit anything to sys/kern/kern_fork.c in -stable, so he may know if there are any plans to fix this before 4.0 is released.
